Lessons Learned from the KnowledgeExchangeWorkshops
General findings
• Open source software is already widely spread at DLR
• Open source software mainly is used in the form of open tools
and libraries
• Own research software still mainly closed source
• Eager interest to publish own software

• Community build up is resources consuming
• Additional burden of time is demotivating
General DLR process to handle open source is missing
